"Just had my first lesson and it went great! Janet is just the kind of teacher I was looking for. I am 67 and play the piano, but had not played in a long

time. I want to get back to it and also learn some music theory which I never had. She is super nice, and makes you feel really relaxed. It was a very positive experience and I am looking forward to my lessons!"

"My son enjoys the piano lessons by Eduardo.

I enjoyed watching my son grow and improve week by week with Eduardo's piano lessons. He is very patient and

good on picking up what style of teaching is the best for him. He is very encouraging and positive.

Eduardo's knowledge on the piano is great. He also has a great teaching style."

"I feel so lucky to find Amanda as my son's first piano teacher. She is great with kids and make my 3 year old boy fall in love with piano now through her

great teaching skills and interesting "animal story books" designed specifically for young children to learn piano. It's been only 2 months since Ethan's first piano class with her, and he's already playing with both hands and a lot of kids songs like "twinkle twinkle little star", "London bridge is falling down", "old McDonald had a farm"...Thank you Amanda!"

"I am 3 lessons in, and I am very satisfied with the pace we are taking the lessons and the advice I am receiving for my music career. I like to cover a l

ot of material in lessons and in homework and we are keeping busy as I like. If you're serious about music, you will probably like Troy as your instructor."

"Lessons with you were highlight of the week!

I am Cole's Grandmother and Tim was the highlight each week for Cole. It pulled him out of his depression of

not being able to find a job after graduation from college and the desire from childhood of wanting to learn how to play the drums."

"Extraordinary acting/voice coach & mentor!!!

What can we say...Ms. Lar'Juanette is amazing! My 5 year old daughter has been taking acting/singing lessons

for a few months now & I'm absolutely amazed at how far along she has come. Ms. Lar'Juanette has brought out confidence & passion for the arts from my little one. Lar'Juanette is extremely professional, works great with children, patient, passionate, down-to-earth, always happy, & has the most amazing spirit about her! She has built a strong foundation for my daughter by starting with the basics of acting/singing, character building, confidence building, working with emotions, & presentation. There's so much more she has taught that I can go on for days! As a parent she has prepared me when it comes to "the business" & what to expect. I'm truly greatful for her guidance & support. With her experience you can't find a better teacher in town. We were lucky to have chosen Ms. Lar'Juanette as a teacher & my daughter can't get enough of her!"
